I have been finalising the final stages of manufacturing my USB and packaging. I have had a few hiccups but I finally handed in the finished product today. I must say, I am satisfied with the final outcome. The USB and packaging box are cohesive and appealing, as a collection. </span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L5uvX9LUYs8/TukfcMFbakI/AAAAAAAAAFw/5Z_BAW4tylw/s1600/IMG-20111214-00259.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L5uvX9LUYs8/TukfcMFbakI/AAAAAAAAAFw/5Z_BAW4tylw/s1600/IMG-20111214-00259.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" oda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L5uvX9LUYs8/TukfcMFbakI/AAAAAAAAAFw/5Z_BAW4tylw/s400/IMG-20111214-00259.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I had an accident in the spray booth yesterday, when I accidentally sprayed red paint onto the gold main body. I was mortified but Tim kindly gave me some rubbing compund to remove the stains. </span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--St2-qDYYv0/TutIWi_yQfI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/rUbZULp_yPo/s1600/IMG-20111213-00224.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" oda="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--St2-qDYYv0/TutIWi_yQfI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/rUbZULp_yPo/s320/IMG-20111213-00224.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Once that had been cleaned up, I applied a final coat of clear </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">vinyl lacquer to give it a shine and protect the paint underneath. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Yesterday in the workshops, I laser cut and assembled my packaging box, which I was happy with. The patterned card was a good choice. </span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Sabeena Ahmadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16074641619435033990noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688655275301916246.post-11165987934992896922011-12-12T21:25:00.001+00:002011-12-12T21:27:49.141+00:00Gold.......!!!<span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">Spent quite some time in the spray booth today,&nbsp;applying the top coat. I decided to spray the whole main body gold, even the lipstick part. I have left that 24 hours to dry overnight. There are still a few imperfections and some dust particles have settled on the paint :( </span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MdHXkj7qij8/TuZubHUbwpI/AAAAAAAAAFg/H7IYrKfcrAY/s1600/IMG-20111212-00212.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" oda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MdHXkj7qij8/TuZubHUbwpI/AAAAAAAAAFg/H7IYrKfcrAY/s400/IMG-20111212-00212.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">Tomorrow, I will mask off the main body so I can spray the lipstick red. I will have to be very careful when I do this, as I don't want to ruin the paint work. I thought it would be easier to spray the whole body one colour, then I can mask off the relevant area and spray the red part. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">Also, I haven't had a chance to check whether the lid fits onto the main USB, as the primer has been drying over the last few days. Previously, sanding it down had made the lid a bit too loose...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I have just drawn out my box template on Corel Draw, ready for laser cutting tomorrow. I couldn't just do a 'quick trace', as I only want the outline of the template to cut, not all the sides &amp; flaps etc. (see below image) </span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T32cwh_eJPE/TuZw0NGNQNI/AAAAAAAAAFo/qNpcYvXaL3Y/s1600/template.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" oda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T32cwh_eJPE/TuZw0NGNQNI/AAAAAAAAAFo/qNpcYvXaL3Y/s400/template.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Sabeena Ahmadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16074641619435033990noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688655275301916246.post-34721302905039558832011-12-12T11:23:00.000+00:002011-12-12T11:23:15.075+00:00Making good progress......finally!<span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">Last night I was so frustrated with my packaging box template, it just wasn't working out. Lipstick boxes are slightly different as they have these small flaps- a bit like a toothpaste box (see image below)&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">I wanted to make my own template from scratch, to fit my USB model in, as I had my own dimensions. I made 4 card mock-ups and still no result!</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img height="297" src="http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4101/4756158184_1dee1255e5.jpg" width="400" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">Image taken from </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/"><span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">http://www.flickr.com/photos/</span></a><span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Before I went to bed, I found this&nbsp;really good lipstick box template on the internet.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><img height="400" id="il_fi" src="http://wrapcandy.com/community/uploads/newbb/110_478fbc457575d.png" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="275" />&nbsp;</span>﻿</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">﻿Image taken from </span><a href="http://www.wrapcandy.com/" rel="external" target="_blank" title="http://www.wrapcandy.com"><span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">http://www.wrapcandy.com</span></a><span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">This morning, I imported it into Corel Draw and resized it according to my USB dimensions.

Now I need to organise the design to hairline&nbsp;in Corel draw, so it can be laser cut. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Also, this morning I have sanded my USB &amp; sprayed another final coat of primer on; in order to gain a smooth finish. I think that, that&nbsp;is the best as I can get it. I'll be ready to spray my top coat on today. I just need to mask the top section off, as that will be a different colour. Fingers crossed! </span></div>Sabeena Ahmadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16074641619435033990noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688655275301916246.post-63453337346180084202011-12-10T16:30:00.004+00:002011-12-10T22:30:31.819+00:00Art deco style for packaging....<span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">I've decided for my packaging box, I won't use imagery or use Photoshop to create the set-up. This is because the Clothes Show Live brand is very simple. They don't have a graphic logo, the logo is the brand name. All the images which are associated with the exhibition event are photographs. Therefore, I have decided to use either textured, patterned&nbsp;or&nbsp;glittery paper. I want the pattern to be abstract and quite simple. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">I went shopping today to look for some craft paper. I found some very nice, unique card at an art shop&nbsp;called Gadsby's in Leicester.&nbsp;It is ruby pink and gold with a flowery decorative design, very art deco (See below image). I feel it fits in very well with the&nbsp;design of&nbsp;my lipstick. </span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="300" mda="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Lpz3H7DkhJ8/TuPcVR2TBhI/AAAAAAAAADg/U-YCgmh7o7I/s400/wallpaper.jpg" width="400" /><span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></div><div align="left" style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div align="left" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">Find out more: </span><a href="http://www.gadsbys.co.uk/product-list.php?Craft-pg1-cid75.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">Art and Craft at Gadsby's, Leicester</span></a><span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">﻿</span></div>Sabeena Ahmadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16074641619435033990noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688655275301916246.post-11728582454423228922011-12-09T16:53:00.005+00:002011-12-11T00:41:30.831+00:00busy day in spray booth...<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">I have been in the spray booth since 11am trying to obtain a nice smooth finish on the main body of my USB. It feels smooth but there are still ridges and dots, which don't seem to be budging. The cap has quite a nice finish on it though.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">So far, I have put 1 coat of plastic primer on and 3 coats of pressure pot primer on. I have left that to dry over the weekend now. On Monday, I will decide whether to put another coat of primer on or whether to proceed with the main top coat.&nbsp; The final colours I had decided on are red and gold, to give it a really classic and luxurious look. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">(You can see in the image below, how effective the colours are together) </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I was thinking of sprinkling some gold glitter into the paint so it sprays it out onto the main body with gold glittery paint....but Tim says I can't do that, as it will clog up the gun!!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">However, I can sprinkle some glitter on once it's been sprayed, which I will think about. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Going to work on my packaging net on the weekend, feel slightly worried that I haven't organised this yet but I'm hoping I can achieve a final design by Sunday. </span></div><br /><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><a href="http://cdni.condenast.co.uk/320x480/a_c/1920s1_V_14oct11_pr_b_320x480.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RQxsC0Xevws/TuP64ZntqXI/AAAAAAAAAFA/ahcZUmpPYdE/s1600/gold.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" mda="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RQxsC0Xevws/TuP64ZntqXI/AAAAAAAAAFA/ahcZUmpPYdE/s400/gold.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; font-family: Trebuchet MS; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></span></div>Sabeena Ahmadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16074641619435033990noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688655275301916246.post-74960821474548768732011-12-08T20:14:00.001+00:002011-12-09T16:23:17.055+00:00Sanding....and more sanding.....and maybe tomorrow more sanding.....<span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">I've been in the workshops, sanding my USB model down. I seem to have a lot of ridges and the thin layers, which have been RP'd are quite visible. </span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">Also, as my model is very circular and spherical, it makes it very hard to sand it accurately. I have gone through all the 'Wet and Dry' papers and it looks quite smooth now. I had to sand the lid and main body seperately, which took a bit of time. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">Looking at it closely, there are a few ridges still left but I don't want to sand it down too much, as I will ruin the shape. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">One slight problem- the lid is now slightly loose, as I had to sand the connecting part to the lipstick (the part which fits into the lid); as it's part of the main body. I'm hoping that once I've sprayed it all up, there will be a thick layer of paint on the model surface, which will allow the lid to fit back on tightly.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Tomorrow I will be ready to spray plastic primer on and then base coats of the pressure pot primer&nbsp;(pre-mixed), more sanding and finally start working towards the quality finish of the product. </span>Sabeena Ahmadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16074641619435033990noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688655275301916246.post-41617350164920799512011-12-07T23:21:00.000+00:002011-12-07T23:21:41.328+00:00I knew this would happen.....<span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">Manufacturing stage has begun and already I have hit a few obstacles. My USB model parts came out of the Rapid Prototyping machine today and they looked great (from afar). But when I placed my circuit down in the recess - I realised there was a big error. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">The 12mm I had measured to ensure the metal chassis was sticking out, had somehow reversed. Basically, I ended up have 12mm internally and only a little bit sticking out for the metal part! This is what I was trying to prevent and I'm not quite sure how it has happened but I will go back to Creo and have a look over the next few days. For now, I want to focus on obtaining the final USB model as time is running out!! </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I have made some manual adjustments now, to ensure the circuit fits. I really wish I had designed some locating pegs or some sloting holes on the main body. I have glued the 2 halves together and I have decided to sand it down as&nbsp;1 whole object; to keep it symmetrical and even. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">So it's glued together now, tomorrow I can continue working on the finish and making it smooth. Need to design my packaging net aswell in the next day or two. I want to make sure the packaging compliments the USB design and is relevant to my product; so Im having a bit of a think. </span>Sabeena Ahmadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16074641619435033990noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688655275301916246.post-71879104285254416272011-12-06T17:40:00.000+00:002011-12-06T17:40:10.906+00:00Busy day.....but productive!<span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">I've converted all the parts into STL files and I've taken my design down to the workshop for it to be manufactured. It will be Rapid Prototyped. So, tomorrow hopefully I can see how it has translated into a solid model. I hope it all fits, as I have spent quite a bit of time on dimensions and&nbsp;altering my design on creo carefully. &nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">I'm thinking of hand painting my model, as it's so small and will be fiddly for spray painting. Still thinking about ideas for my packaging, will discuss this with John tomorrow in our 1-1 tutorial. </span>Sabeena Ahmadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16074641619435033990noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688655275301916246.post-46480197395889695272011-12-06T15:11:00.001+00:002011-12-06T15:12:46.883+00:00Slowly coming together now.....<span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">Feeling slightly happier now that my USB design is developing on Creo.

Sometimes, it doesn't want to seem to play ball, then you press one button and it's all working again! </span><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">I've been focusing a lot of today on thinking about circuit positioning/ mounting and dimensions etc. I started off creating 1 solid model but then realised it's better to slice it into two halves, in order&nbsp;to create the recess for the PCB on both sides. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Time is ticking fast....but im hoping to have my final design refined, for manufacture over the next 2 days.</span>Sabeena Ahmadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16074641619435033990noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688655275301916246.post-29243875729195480932011-12-04T19:00:00.002+00:002011-12-04T19:10:56.888+00:00What will I do for the packaging? hhhmmmm........<span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">I've also had my thinking cap on today, on ideas for my packaging! I will research into this further over the next few days. My initial thoughts are to package the USB lipstick, in a standard lipstick box (see below). This is because its small and compact and will be easy to distribute, as a freebie. I am going to look into some other ideas for creative packaging and using the laser cutter, as the main method of manufacture. </span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img height="265" id="il_fi" nodeindex="1" src="http://www.replicamacmakeup.net/images/newmac/MAC%20Lipstick%20128.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="400" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img height="300" id="il_fi" src="http://sarahkovelle.com/images/design/lipstickback.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="400" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img height="270" id="il_fi" src="http://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/museumoflondon/images/microsites/derivatives//exploring/025/mid/88_271_64.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="358" /></div>Sabeena Ahmadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16074641619435033990noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688655275301916246.post-67672633799508672532011-12-04T18:45:00.000+00:002011-12-04T18:45:01.967+00:00How will it all fit together, as a USB...?<span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">Just thinking about the dimensions of my final design and trying to visualise how it will look. I've realised internal supports/ architecture will play an important part in how it all fits together. I've been sketching out how the PCB will fit into a recess in the main body of the USB and the thickness of it, in order for it to fit securely. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Still working on sketches etc, so not posted these up yet. But my final USB design is to be in&nbsp;the shape of a Lipstick. &nbsp;</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img height="290" id="il_fi" src="http://turbyandjohn.com/files/2010/01/red-hot-lipstick-rimmel.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="290" /></div>Sabeena Ahmadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16074641619435033990noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688655275301916246.post-63186279701940751632011-12-03T22:08:00.000+00:002011-12-03T22:08:17.346+00:00More info on chosen venture....<span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">I have created a research page for my chosen venture which I will add to tomorrow.

It is a huge fashion and beauty exhibition with catwalk shows, hair stylists, make up, music And lots more! </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">I have attended many times and I love it. So I'm looking forward to developing my ideas further. Will post my intial ideas up soon </span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><a href="http://www.clothesshowlive.com/" target="_blank">Visit the Clothes Show Live website here</a></span></div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Also, please feel free to&nbsp;watch the below video- it's the latest TV advert for 2011 Clothes Show Live!

So Im on my laptop finally about to install Creo so I can give the CD back to John. Feeling a little 'behind' on the project but I know what I need to do so it's just a matter of getting&nbsp; on with it. Really want my final USB design developed&nbsp;in the next few days&nbsp;so I can progress with the manufacturing side of things etc next week! </span>Sabeena Ahmadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16074641619435033990noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1688655275301916246.post-12492527269579486112011-11-29T17:32:00.001+00:002011-11-29T18:52:54.679+00:00First post- Practice<span style="font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;, sans-serif;">This is my first post. I have never blogged before but it seems like fun- very 21st century! Just set up my Google Email account and messing around with Blogger - its very tempting to have everything pink and fancy! Im just thinking of my ideas and doing research at the moment. Hope to get some pages up and running soon :) </span>Sabeena Ahmadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16074641619435033990noreply@blogger.com0
